Axes were valued for their striking force, durability, and effectiveness in close combat. They could serve both as battlefield arms and practical tools, making them a common sight among soldiers, guards, and travelers.
Because of their simple as well as effective design, axes were widely used across many cultures and regions throughout medieval Europe and Scandinavia. Today, medieval axes remain popular for historical reenactments, LARP events, stage combat, training, and decorative display. Their distinctive shape and strong presence make them an essential addition to any medieval weapons collection.
All of the axe heads are hand forged from EN45 carbon steel. They are partially sharpened so you can either dull them for battle re-enactment or hone them further to use as target throwers or for woodcrafting projects.
The handles are made from either Teak or Ash. Teak is a hard wood note for its strength. Ash is a slightly lighter wood but still retains geat stength. It was the most common handle used in Viking and Medieval Times.
